    A classic arcade puzzler with gameplay compounded by a tremendous amount of scope for mastery and blistering retro aesthetics, Pix the Cat is one of the most essential pressure-puzzlers that you can buy on PlayStation right now.

    A fantastic little action puzzlers that is one of the best surprises of the year, and a welcome escape from would-be epics and over-hyped blockbusters.

    It's not a system-seller, but definitely one of those addictive retro-ish games you enjoy playing.

    Pix the Cat continues PastaGames’ reputation for making incredible bite-sized gaming experiences. There’s even a surprising amount of depth here thanks to its multiplier and variety of game modes.

    Pix the Cat looks looks like a familiar animal born of the arcade room, but this kitten is trickier to domesticate than expected, its wild gameplay being revealed through the neat modes cooked by Pastagames.

    It's all a bit shallow for anything long-term. [Christmas 2014, p.78]

It's decadesIf PacMan was released a year ago as thought yesterday was sometime in the 1970's, this game would be passable. But It wasn't. It's decades later and this game exists as though the trudgery of memorising set patterns for maximum reward points of an extremely basic mechanics PacMan-like game, is acceptable. It's not acceptable. Games like this... decades after PacMac, desperately need some fake tension and the timer proves Pix the Cat's crutch-ness to hide how little play this game has. Once again for games like this, fake tension, and also with a score chase incentive ( for those who like setting up a numbers improvement challenge ), betrays how outdated, archaic and crutch dependant these basic indie games really are.
